Exploring Virtual Geographic Environments

Virtual geographic environments (VGE) are environments pertaining to the relationship between post-humans and 3-D virtual worlds. Post-humans are defined as a combination of humans in the real world with 3-D avatars in 3-D virtual worlds. Five types of space, namely Internet space, data space, 3-D graphical space, personal perceptual and cognitive space, and social space are used to explore the...

Virtual Environments Begin to Embrace Process-based Geographic Analysis

Virtual environments are computer-based digital spaces that we can observe, participate in, and experience in person. Virtual environments were initially viewed as “mirror worlds” (Gerlenter 2004), although they are being extended as this virtuality broadens to include scenarios that cannot be found in real life. Employing virtual environments as a tool to facilitate scientific exploration is n...
